Your Employer Is
Stealing From You. You Have Rights.
Every day you wait is money you lose. In California, you have only 3 years to claim unpaid wages — and many workers lose their case by waiting too long.
Are you experiencing any of these situations?
You are not being paid what you deserve
- Hours worked that never appear on your paycheck
- Overtime without legal pay (1.5x after 8 hours)
- Below minimum wage — $18.67/hr in San Francisco
- Bounced checks or "promises" that never come
They make you work without respect
- No meal breaks, no 10-minute rest breaks
- They require you to arrive early or stay late without pay
- Impossible schedules that change without notice or compensation
You are being discriminated against or threatened
- You were fired for complaining, for your race, gender or age
- They threaten to call immigration if you speak up
- Sexual harassment or hostile work environment
- You were punished for taking sick or family leave
You do not have to endure this in silence.
The law is completely on your side.
It does not matter if you are undocumented, do not speak English, or signed a paper saying you cannot sue — you have guaranteed labor rights in California and your employer knows it.
We have recovered thousands of dollars for workers like you. We can help you:
- Recover all wages owed to you — with interest
- Stop the harassment, discrimination and abuse
- Protect your job if they threaten retaliation
- Sue your employer and obtain additional compensation

Liberation Law Group
Your Law Firm in the
Heart of the Mission District
Since 2007, Liberation Law Group has been part of the Latino community in San Francisco. We did not open our office in the Financial District like other firms. We placed it at 2760 Mission Street — in the Mission District — because that is where our people live and work.
2760 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA — Mission DistrictWhy? Because we understand that when you need an employment attorney, you do not want to go to a corporate building where no one understands you. You want to go to a place that speaks your language, knows your culture, and has lived the same challenges as you.
We are more than attorneys — we are your legal family. Our clients are real workers: people who work in Mission restaurants, cleaning employees in SOMA, construction workers in Potrero Hill, caregivers in the Sunset. They all have one thing in common: they deserve respect and fair treatment at work.
In over 15 years, we have learned that every worker has a unique story, but the abuses are always the same. That is why we fight so hard — because we know that behind every case is a family that depends on that job.
"Liberation Law Group is not just a law firm — we are advocates for our community, fighting for the workplace justice that we all deserve."

Every Workplace Abuse
Has a Legal Solution
Select your situation — we will tell you exactly what you can recover
Wrongful Termination
Recover your job or compensationWere you fired without valid reason? In California, they cannot fire you for discrimination, retaliation, or for exercising your employment rights. If you were let go for being Latino, for being pregnant, for complaining, or for taking medical leave — that is illegal. As a wrongful termination attorney, we help workers recover lost wages, benefits, and damages from illegal terminations.
Wage and Hour Violations
Recover up to 3x what was stolenAre you not being paid what you are owed? In San Francisco, you have the right to minimum wage ($18.67/hour), overtime after 8 hours per day, and paid meal breaks. If your employer steals your wages, does not pay overtime, or makes you work "off the clock" — you can sue and recover your lost money plus additional damages. In California, you can receive up to 3 times what was stolen from you.
Employment Discrimination
Lost wages + emotional damagesAre you being treated differently at work for being Latino? Discrimination can be subtle or obvious: comments about your accent, being passed over for promotions even though you are the most qualified, being given the hardest tasks, or being paid less than others. It also includes discrimination based on gender, age, pregnancy, disability, and sexual orientation. We have won cases against employers who discriminate. You can recover lost wages, emotional damages, and sometimes get your job back.
Sexual Harassment at Work
Complete confidentiality guaranteedYour boss or coworkers touch you, make sexual comments, or demand sexual favors — that is sexual harassment and it is completely illegal. California has the strongest laws in the country to protect you. It does not matter if you work in a restaurant, hotel, office, or factory — no one has the right to harass you. We know this is difficult to talk about, especially for Latina women who fear losing their job. We handle your case with complete confidentiality and respect.
Workplace Retaliation
Recover your job + compensationHave you suffered retaliation for speaking up at work? If you reported discrimination, harassment, dangerous conditions, or wage theft — and afterward your boss treated you worse, changed your schedule, cut your hours, or fired you — that is illegal retaliation. Employers cannot punish you for exercising your rights. The law protects you when you stand up for what is right.
Disability Rights
Reasonable accommodations requiredIs your employer discriminating against you because of a medical condition or disability? The law protects workers with diabetes, back problems, depression, arthritis, injuries, heart conditions, and many others. Your employer must provide reasonable accommodations so you can do your job — they cannot fire you just for having a disability. If they deny accommodations, fire you for being sick, or mistreat you because of your condition — that is illegal discrimination.

Employment Attorney in San Francisco, California —
Fighting for Workers 24/7
Are you being treated unfairly at work? Not getting paid what you are owed? If you live in San Francisco and need an employment attorney who truly understands what is happening in our Hispanic community, you have come to the right place.
Since 2007, Liberation Law Group has been here in the Mission District, at the heart of San Francisco, helping workers like you. We are not a large, cold firm — we speak your language, we understand your situation, and we know exactly what happens when employers abuse Latino workers in this city.
Why Do You Need an Employment Attorney in San Francisco?
San Francisco can be an expensive and difficult city to work in. Employers know that many Hispanic workers do not know their rights, and they take advantage of that. The truth is simple: regardless of your immigration status, you have employment rights in San Francisco.
- They make you work off the clock without paying you
- They deliberately miscalculate your overtime
- They pay you a flat salary when you should be receiving overtime
- They classify you as an "independent contractor" to avoid paying benefits
- They do not give you 30-minute meal breaks
- They do not reimburse work expenses like uniforms or gas
- They pay you with bounced checks or delay your payment
Wage & Hour in San Francisco — Your Real Rights
Workplace Discrimination in San Francisco
Discrimination happens every day in San Francisco, especially to Hispanic workers. As employment discrimination attorneys, these are the most common cases we see:
Racial and national origin discrimination
- You are treated differently for being Latino, Mexican, Salvadoran, or Central American
- They make comments about your accent or the way you speak
- They do not promote you even though you have more experience than others
Gender and pregnancy discrimination
- They pay you less than men for the same work
- They fire you when they find out you are pregnant
- They do not give you the same position back when you return from maternity leave
Age, disability, and religious discrimination
- They fire you to hire younger, cheaper people (if you are over 40)
- They do not provide reasonable accommodations for your medical condition or disability
- They force you to work on your religious day of rest
Undocumented Workers — Your Rights Are Real
The question we get asked most: "But I don't have papers — can I still file a claim?"
YES. Absolutely yes. Regardless of your immigration status, you have the right to minimum wage, overtime, protection against discrimination, sexual harassment, and dangerous conditions. Many companies take advantage of Hispanic workers because they think they will not file a claim out of fear.
And here is the most important thing: we never ask about your immigration status, and we never share that information with anyone. San Francisco is a sanctuary city.
